Overall sales volume in the Solana Beach housing market for August did not shift, but there were 2 more detached homes sold, and 2 fewer attached homes sold compared to last month. The average sales price decreased substantially for detached homes, in large part due to the sale of 3 homes for more than $2M, with 1 at $7.8M last month that had raised the average; there was a significant increase in average sales price for attached single family homes, with 4 homes selling at over $1.1M. Average marketing time increased for both detached and attached homes.
Buyers were able to negotiate their sales prices down from original list price, on average 3 - 6%. However, 6 home buyers (33%) paid asking price or better for their new homes. 33% of the homes sold for cash, compared to 44% last month.
The median sales price of a detached home was $1,900,000 (up 46%), and $967,000 (up 26%) for attached. Given the small number of sales, one should not draw any firm conclusions about pricing trends over just a 1-month period.
